way of making
The Adventure Begins: Warming and Premonition: In a saucepan, slowly warm the milk and butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted and the milk is slightly bubbling, this is the signal to turn off the heat. When this aroma spreads through the kitchen, the excitement of baking is at its peak.
Flour and Egg Encounter】: Sift the flour, granulated sugar, and cherry powder into a bowl. Add the egg and egg yolk, and mix with a whisk in a circular motion. Gently and carefully, as if you were trying to “blend” the mixture rather than whisk it.
Pour the milk from Step 1 into the bowl in 3 batches. Using a rubber spatula, slowly scoop up the milk from the bottom. The magic trick is not to let too much air in here to create a sticky texture.
Resting quietly: Finally, add the rum and strain the mixture through a colander. This step will make it surprisingly smooth to the palate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. This time will give you something to look forward to tomorrow.
Baking: Pour the batter into the molds brushed with melted butter up to the eighth fill. Baking at high temperature for 15 minutes at a time produces the characteristic crispy outside. Then, lower the temperature to 180°C and bake slowly for 40 minutes to complete the baking process.
This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points
The biggest point of failure in making canelees is not allowing the dough to rest. Overnight resting allows the gluten in the flour to settle and the egg coagulation reaction to even out. The difference in baking temperature (from 220 to 180 degrees Celsius) is also important. The high temperature creates the outer shell, while the low temperature slowly nurtures the glutinous texture inside. This difference in temperature is the scientific reason why the texture is so close to that of the real French baked goods.
The crispy texture of the freshly made cake is exceptional, but the moistness of the cake after it has been acclimated a little the next day has a different taste. We hope you will try it with a sigh of relief between cheering. May your spring be sweet and memorable.
